About the Course

This course gives you easy access to the invaluable learning techniques used by experts in art, music, literature, math, science, sports, and many other disciplines. We’ll learn about how the brain uses two very different learning modes and how it encapsulates (“chunks”) information. We’ll also cover illusions of learning, memory techniques, dealing with procrastination, and best practices shown by research to be most effective in helping you master tough subjects. Using these approaches, no matter what your skill levels in topics you would like to master, you can change your thinking and change your life. If you’re already an expert, this peep under the mental hood will give you ideas for turbocharging successful learning, including counter-intuitive test-taking tips and insights that will help you make the best use of your time on homework and problem sets. If you’re struggling, you’ll see a structured treasure trove of practical techniques that walk you through what you need to do to get on track. If you’ve ever wanted to become better at anything, this course will help serve as your guide. This course can be taken independent of, concurrent with, or prior to, its companion course, Mindshift. (Learning How to Learn is more learning-focused, and Mindshift is more career-focused.) A related course by the same instructors is Uncommon Sense Teaching.

Didactique efficace et agréable.

Permet de savoir pourquoi certaines méthodes empiriques fonctionnent et pourquoi certaines méthodes d'apprentissage ou de motivation sont inefficaces.

Helps a lot with remembering things, especially so after damage to the brain and memories took away some of those naturally used methods making learning almost completely uneffective

Great course. Thanks to Dr.s Oakley and Sejnowski. Please be aware that this is not a course to take and forget. You need to review the stuff for years to make it your second nature.

it is a really good way to learn new things and build your self confidence as the concepts are very relatable, and you eventually know the things you are doing wrong, when learning.
